Let the young men novo nr
and play before us
II Samuel it It
There are two armies encamped bj ths
pool of Gibeon The time hangs heavily on
their hands Onennny proposes a game of
erword fencing Nothg could bo moro
healthfol and innocents The other army ac-
cepts tho challengo Twelve men against
twelve men the sport opens But something
wentadversely Perhapsoneottheswords
xnen got an unlucky clip or in some way had
bis ire aroused and that which opened in
sportfalness ended in violence each one tak
ing his contestant by the hair and then with
I the sword thrusting him iu the side so that
thatwhich opened in Innocent fan ended in
the massacre of all the twentyfour sports
men Was there ever n better i astration
of what was true then and is true now that
that whi h is innocent may be made de
structive J
TChatofa worldly nature is more im-
portant and strengthening and innocent than
omusemeut and yet what has counted more
victims I have no sympathy with a straight
Jaclet religion This is a very bright world
to mo and I propose to do all I can to make
it bright for others
I never could keep step to a dead march
A book years ago issued says that a Chris
Wan man has a right to some amusements
For instanceif becomes home at night
weary from his work and feeling in need of
recreation puts on his slippers and goes Into
his gamt and walks lively round the floor
Jeveral times there can be no harm in it I
believe the courts of God has made a tre-
mendous mistake in trying to suppress the
sportfulness of youth and drive ojt from
men then love cf amusement If God ever
J f J < uited anything in OS he implanted ibis
desire
Bat instead of providing for this demand
or our nature the chnrch of God has for the
main part Ignored it As in a riot the
mayor plants a battery af the end of the
street and has it fired off so that everything
is cut down that happens to stand In the
range the good as well as the bad so there
are men in the chnrch who plant their bat
teries of condemnation and fire away indis-
criminately Everything is condemned
But my Buile commends those who use the
world without abusing it and in the natural
world God has done everything to please and
amuse us la poetic figures wo sometimes
speak of natural objects as being in pain
but It is a mere fancy Poets say tha clond3
weep but they never yet she a tear and
the winds sight but they never did have
any trouble and that the storm howls but
it never lost its tempir Tho world i3 a-
rose and the universe a garland
I am glad to know that in all our cties
there are plenty of places where we may find
elevated moral entertainment But all
honest men and good women will agree with
trie iu the statement that one of the worst
plagues of theso cities is corrupt amusement
Alultitudes have gone down under the blast
ing iunuence never to rf e If we may judge
of what is going on in many of the places of
amusement by the Sodomic pictures on
board fences and In many of the show
windows there is not a much lower depth of
profligacy to reach At Naples Italy they
keep such pictures locked up iron indis
criminate inspection These pictures were
exhumed from Pompeii and are not fit for
public gaze If tho effrontery of bad places
of amusement in handing out improper ad-
vertisements of what they are doing night
by night grows worse in the same propor-
tion in fifty years New York and Brooklyn
wtjl beat not only Pompeii but Sodom
To help stay the plague now raging I pro
left certain pnuaples by which you may
radge in regard to any amusement or re
crrabon findinzcut for yourself whether it
m right or whether it is wrong
II remark in the first phco that you can
Jfidge of the moral character of any amese
jAcnt by Its healthful result or by Its baleful
reaction There are people who seem made
up of bard faU They are a combination of
multiplication tables andstatistes If you
show themaaexquMte picture they will be-
gin to discuss the pigments Involved in the
coloring If you show them a beautiful rose
tier will submit it to a botanicalanalysis
which is only tho postmortem examination
of a flower They have no rebound in their
nature They never do anythingmcre than
smile There are no great tides of feeling
rurgins tip from the depths of their soul In
billow after biEaw of reverberating Ungh
ta They sran as if netara had built them
jby ronii > < made at urmtling job of it
btcsscdbeGodjtUerearepeepleinths
world who ha e hrightfeee end whose lite
is a eon an anthem a paan of victory
liven their troubles are like the vines that
crawl up the side of a great toweron tha top
of which the sunlight sits and the sort air
of summer hold perpetual carnival They
ore the people you like to have com to your
ltouso they are the people I like to nave
come to my house if you but touch the
beta of their garments you are healeJ
Now it is these cxhilarant and sympathe-
tic and warm hearted people that are most
tempted to pernicious amusements In pro
as a ship is swift it wants a strong
Krtion in proportion as a horse is gay
it want a stout driver and these people of
exuberant nature will do well to look at the
reaction of all their amusements If an
amusement sends yon home at night nervous
so that you cannot sleep and you rise up in
the morning not because you are slept out
but because your duty drags you from your
slumbers you have been where you ought
not to have been There are amusements
that send a man next day to his work blood-
shot yawning stupid nauseated ond they
are wrong kinds of amusement They are
entertainments that give a man disgust with
the drudgery of life with tools because they
e re not swords with working aprons because
they are not robes with cattfcj because they
are not infuriated bulls of the arena
If any amusement sends you home longing
for a life of romance and thrilling adventure
love that takes pouon and shoots itself
momilightadveatumand hair breadth es
capes you may depend upon it that you are
tho sacrificed victim cf unsanetifled pleasure
Our recreations aro intended to build up
and If they pull us down as to our moral or
as to our physical sb ength you may corns to
the conclusion that they are obnoxious
There is nothing more depraving than at
tendance upon amusements that aro full of
Innuendo and Jow suggestion The young
man enters At first he sits far back with
his hat on and his coat collar up fearful that
somebody there may know him Several
tdghta pass on He takes off Us hat earlier
and puts his coat collar down The blush
that first came into his cheek when anything
indecent was enacted comes no more to h
cheek Farewell young man You have
probably started on the long road whxh
tnds in consummate destruction The
stars > f hope will go out cno by one
until you will be left In utter darkness Hear
r you aot the rush of the maelstrom in whose
cuter circle your boat now dance making
merry with the whirling waters But you
arebsmg drawn in and the gentle motion
will become terriflo agitation You for

man in your store wimdering off into bad
amusements The salixy you give hici may
meet lawful expenditures out not the sinful
indulgences in which ha has entered and be-
takes by theft that whichiyou do not give
him in lawful salary
How brightly the rath of unrestrained
amusement opens The young man says
Now I am off for a gcod tune Never mad
economy Ill get moiey somehow What
a fine roadl what a beautiful day for a
ridel Crack the whip and over the turn

Is a thrill and an excitement They stare at
other people and In turn aro stared at Tho
watch chain Jingles The cup foams
The cheeks flush Their eyes flash
The midnight hears their guffaw

pictures of conifoftdisasteiih Tj ryipyy

Vfho caresr and to tho some
Christian friend Whoareyouf
Passing along the street soma night you
hear a shriek iu a grog shop tbo rattle of
the watchmans club the rush of the police
What is the matter now Oh this reckless
young j > a has been killed in a grog shop
flg eSrry himhometohisfatherd house
rfents will come down and wash his
wounds and close his eyes In death They
forgive him all be ever duLolthough he can-
not in his silence ask it The prodigal has
got home at last Mother will go to her
tittle garden and get the sweetest flowers
and twist tbem into a chaplet for the sdent
heart of the wayward boy and push back
from the bloated brow the long locks that
were once her pride and the air will bo rent
with tho agony The great dramatist says
How sharper than a serpents tooth it Is to
have a thankless child
I go further and say these are unchristian
amusements which become the chief business
of a mans life Life is an earnest thing
Whether wo were born In a palace or hovel
whether we are affluent or pinched we have
to work If you do not sweat with toil you
will sweat with disease You have a soul
that is to be transSgured amid the pomp of
a judgment day and after the sea has sung
its last chant and the mountain shall have
como down In an avalanche of a rock you
will lire and think and act high on a throne
where seraphs sing or deep in a dungeon
w here demons howl In a world where there
is so much to do for yourselves and so much
to do for others Goapity that man who has
nothing to da
Your sports are merely means to an end
They are alleviations and helps The arm of
toll Is the only arm strong enough to bring
up the bucket out cf the deep well of pleas-
ure Amusement is only the bower where
business and philanthropy rest while on their
way to stirring achievements Amusements
are merely the vines that grow about the
anvil of toil and the blossoming of the ham-
mers Alas for the man who spends his life
in laboriously doing nothing his dayo in
hunting up lounging places and loungers
his nights in seeking ont some gas lighted
foolery I The man who always has on his
sporting jacket ready to hunt for game iu
the mountain or fish in tho brook with no
time to pray or work or read is n ft so well
off as the greyhound that runs by his side or
the fly bait with whi h he whips the stream
j A man who does not work does not know
now to play It God hod iatended us to do
nothing but laugh He would not have given
l shoulders with which to lift and hands
tnth which to work and brains with which
to think The amusements of life oro mere-
ly the orchestra playing while tha great
tragedy of life plunges through its five acts
jtsiicy childhood manhood old ago and
dearfuJles exit iiakst txrthly rsjpirtjiJ
ity Enter the overwBehnlig realities ofua
fcternatworldl
I go further and say that all those amuse-
ments are wrong which lead into bad com-
pany If you go to any place where you
have to associate with the intemperate with
the unclean with tb3 abandoned however
well they may bo dressed in the name of
God quit it They will despoil your nature
They will undermine your moral character
They will drop you when you are destroyed
They will give not on9 cent to support your
children when you are dead They will weep
not one tear at your burial They will
chuckle over your damnation
I aid a friend at the west a rare friend
He was one of the first to welcome me to his
new home To fine personil appearance he
added a generosity frankness and ardor of
nature that made me love him like a brother

Young men who have Just com from
cocntry residence to city rcsidenca will do
well to be on guard and let no one induce
vou to places of improper amusement It
is mightily alluring when a young man
long a citizen offers to show a new comer all
Around
StiQ further Those amusements are wrong
which lead you into expenditure beyond your
means Money spent in recreation is not
tbrownnway It is all folly for us to come
from a place of amusement feeling that we
have wasted our money and time You may
by it have made an Investment worth mora

dreds or thousands of dollars But how many
prpperties have been riddled by costly
amusements

They drove him on the rocks like a ship full
winged shivering on the breakers I used
to admonish him I would say Now I
wUh you would quit these bad habits and
become a Christian Oh he would reply
Iwould like to I would like to but I have
gone so far I dont think there is any way
back In his moments of repentance he
would go home and take his little girl cf
eight years aud embrace her convulsively
andco > er berwith adornments and strew
around her pictures and toys and every thing
that could make her happy and then as
though hounded by on evil spirit he would
go out to the enfiaming cup and the house of

He grasped It cxdtedly and said Bit down

said Last night I saw my mother who has
been dead twenty years and she sat just
where you sit now It was no dream I was
wide awake There was no delusion in the
matter I saw her Just as plainly as I see
you Wife I wish you would toko thoss
strings off of me There are strings spun
all around my body I wish you would
take them off of me I saw it was de

As I sat in the pulpit and saw his body
coming up through the aisle I felt as If I
could weep tears of blood I told the people
that day This man had his virtues and a
good many of them Ho had his faults and
a good many of them butifthereisanyman
in this audience who Is without sin let him
cast the first stone at this coffin lid On one
side tho pulpit sat that little child rosy
sweet faced as beautiful as any little child
that sat at your table this morning
I warrant you She looked up wist
fully not knowing tho full sorrows
of an orphan child Ob her coun
tenance haunts me today like some sweet
face looking upon us through a horrid dream
On the other side of the pulpit were the men
who had destroyed Jiim There they sat
hard visaged some of them pile from ex
nausnng disease some or them Hushed until
it seemed as it the fires of iniquity flamed
through the cheeks and crackled the lips
They were the men who hod done theworki
They were the men who bad bound htm hand
and foot They had kindled the fires They
had poured the wormwood and call Into that
orphans cup Did they weep No Did
thesigh repcntingly Na Did they say
What a pity that such a brave man should
betlafn bono not one bloated hand was
lifted to wipe a tear from a bloated chock
They sat and looked at the coffin like vul
tures gazing at the carcass of a lamb whose
heart they had ripped outl I cried in their
tars as plainly as I could There U a God

which was accomplished after quite a

dogs chased the animal out of the woods
and to save itself jumped over th bluff
and swam over the breakers It was

Small Change
Small change S3ys the London Graphic
is evidently much appreciated in South-
western France A farmer in the Dauph
iny Alps recently sold some sucking
pigs for onejiundred and fifteen francs
and stiruTated that he should be paid in
centime The buyer assented treating
tho denvind as a joke When later he
offered jto pay the money in ordinary
cash however the fanner held to his
barjafoj and summoned the other before
njjagistratc who decided that the evact
terms of the agreement must be observed
The purchaser therefore had to count
out eleven thousand fire hundred single
centime pieces for his debt of one hun
cred and fifteen francs The Ledocr

The present Mexican people aro of
mixed ancestry Spanish Aztecs and the
Chichmccs tribes The origin of the
Aztecs Atretics is shrouded in mys-
tery All that is known pf the pcoplo
is that tbey came from the north and
after wandering from place to place
found in 1325 the City of Tenochtit
lan or Mexico When Cortes invaded
Mexico in 1519 tho Aztec throno was
occupied by Montezuma The subse-
quent history of Mexico is familiar to all
students
The Africans belong to one of the
great divisions of tho human family
called by Doctor Latham Atlantlda
tho Ethiopic of other ethnologists
Originally all the nations inhabiting tho
southern part of the globe as known to
the ancients or all men of dark brown
or black color were called Ethopians
Later this name was gnen more par-
ticularly to the inhabitants of the coun-
tries south of Lib a and Egypt or tho
Upper Nile the present Nubia Sen

accounts which the ancients havo left
